    I try to pick project names that are indicative to what the project is about.

    SerpRateAI - a project building ai/ml tools to understand serpentinisation rates

    4d-modeller - an R package that builds spatiotemporal models (don’t use it, it sucks, we had a couple bad hires and so we ran out of money before it could become good haha)

    Etc.

      I respect that a lot SerpRateAI actually sounds sharp, like it knows what it’s doing. But yeah, balance is tricky... Descriptive names make sense, but sometimes a little abstraction gives you room to grow.

        I would like to pretend I know what I’m doing haha

    As user one of the most important things for me is that your name is actually searchable. Also using traditional search engines. If that is not true, I would skip the name.

      Totally feel you on that. I’ve caught myself checking if a name “works” in Google before I even buy the domain. If it brings up junk or something unrelated on the first page, I usually bail too.
